Russell Brand is just full of surprises. Just when you expect him to be snarky or mean, he's, well, nice. The comedian recently appeared on The Today Show to promote his new book, "Revolution" and naturally, the subject of his ex-wife Katy Perry came up.

Despite the bitter end of their marriage - Brand is rumoured to have asked Perry for a divorce via text message - he had nothing but nice things to say about the pop-star and their short marriage. "I really enjoyed [marriage]. I think Katy Perry is an amazing person," Brand told Matt Lauer. "Love is ultimately what we're here for. Love could be the very core of our value systems instead of corruption and economics." Way to stay classy, Russell!
